Model of Christian Charity

As a model of Christian charity, Compassion understands the important responsibility in our hands. When you sponsor a child, you can be assured your donation will benefit your child spiritually, emotionally, socially and physically. At Compassion, we feel a model of Christian charity should offer donors more than excellent program delivery. Financial transparency plays an important role as well.

Compassion works with a number of organizations dedicated to ensuring financial accountability. To assist in our efforts to be a model of Christian charity, Charity Navigator, the largest independent evaluator of charities in the country, has awarded Compassion its highest ranking for nine years in a row. This review organization also ranks Compassion in the top 1 percent of charities.

Compassion is an accredited charity with the Better Business Bureau and a founding member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. We do not take this recognition for being a model of Christian charity lightly.

We want you to contribute with confidence as you touch lives worldwide. And while we strive to maintain and continually improve our standing as a model of Christian charity, our primary focus is the children. Your child sponsorship support offers hope and help to children in some of the world's most impoverished countries. We offer children:

nutritional support

medical care

educational opportunities

Christian training

Your tax-deductible contribution of just $38 a month connects a child living in poverty with a loving, church-based Child Sponsorship Program.

Your support provides:

Medical checkups, which often save lives

Nutritious food

Health and hygiene training

Educational assistance

Access to special services like surgeries and disaster relief

Mentoring to help children discover their incredible value as God’s children

Most important of all, your sponsored child will hear about Jesus Christ and be encouraged to develop a lifelong relationship with God.

When you sponsor a child, you'll receive your child's photo, personal story and a child sponsorship packet by mail in approximately 10 days.

When children find out they've been sponsored, the joy they feel is indescribable. Just knowing that someone across the globe cares means more than you can imagine. Sponsoring a child in need will profoundly change the future for your child, and will change your own life as well.

Financial Integrity

Compassion consistently receives high ratings for financial accountability and integrity.

Charity Navigator, America's largest charity evaluator, has awarded Compassion its highest rating — four stars — for 14 consecutive years, placing Compassion in the top 1 percent of all charities.
